Chapter 162 Scene 21 It’s hard to escape the trap five
The night was dark, and Ning Yue was alone in the corner of the cell, hugging her knees and curling up in a ball. Around the corner, you could vaguely see the light of the oil lamp, and the shaking shadows of the guards who were busy changing shifts. However, since she was After being thrown into prison, no one came to interrogate her, and even she was not sure if anyone still remembered the red-haired witch imprisoned here.
At this time, the bucket of blood that caused Ning Yue to lose her human form had slowly solidified on her body, forming a brittle and hard blood scab on her clothes, and she had regained her appearance as a lovely and pitiful girl. She wore a pair of scarves on her hands and feet. The iron shackles became heavier and heavier, leaving dark red bruises on his wrists and ankles.
The gloomy atmosphere in the prison was overwhelming, and it was even colder after nightfall, making people shiver. This made Ning Yue's mind become clearer. She gradually realized that the scene that happened in the Wannian Palace during the day must have been Gao Gao's death. Li secretly tampered with the bucket of blood. Although she still couldn't guess what the other party planned to do with her, since she had spared a life, there must be something in her that the other party wanted to use. Thinking of this, she made a decision in her heart After being prepared to deal with the situation, I suddenly summoned up some courage.
The exhausted Ning Yue gradually lowered her head and fell asleep against the cold stone wall. After days of wandering around, she was unable to sleep peacefully for a whole day, and it was really difficult to support her. But while she was half asleep, something suddenly happened. Two jailors appeared outside the cell door, screaming and arching their backs, as excited as a fox after seeing a rabbit:
"I heard that a red-haired witch was imprisoned in the prison. I am talking about you, right? Lift your head quickly and let me take a closer look. What does she look like?"
The red-haired girl's heart suddenly tightened: "You - what do you want?"
"You are indeed a pretty girl. Look at the blood and stains all over your body. It's really a waste of your good skin. It's already late at night, so I took the initiative to get you some hot water to wash you. Don't be afraid. , Don’t be afraid, I’m coming in.”
As the leading jailer spoke, he opened the cell door and broke in without permission.
Although the other party did hold a wooden bucket in his hand, and the water in the bucket was steaming, Ning Yue immediately became nervous. Because both the other party's expression and tone were full of obvious malice. As expected, The two of them had just put down the barrels in their hands at their feet, but they had no intention of leaving. Instead, they rushed towards her. The leader even reached out to unbutton her collar:
"Come on, come on, why don't you take off your clothes quickly and let me wash you clean with water?"
"Don't even touch me!"
The girl immediately struggled, causing her handcuffs and shackles to jingle. However, the shackles were fixed to the wall of the cell by iron chains. In the square space surrounded by three stone walls and an iron fence, she had nowhere to hide.
"Don't bother. Now that you have lost your magic power, do you still think you can escape?"
The jailer grabbed Ning Yue's hair, pushed her to the ground, and with a "sneak" sound, ripped open a large slit in her long skirt, revealing her slender legs.
The red-haired girl struggled desperately and slammed her knee into the opponent's face. The jailer became furious, pulled out the short knife from his waist with a clang, and cursed viciously:
"Damn, Xiao Nizi is quite strong! To tell you the truth, none of the female prisoners who come here are obedient and willing to be manipulated. If you feel comfortable serving me tonight, the days ahead will be much easier. Otherwise, I will go to Master Gao and make your life worse than death!"
As the other party spoke, a lewd smile appeared on his face again, and he put the knife on Ning Yue's neck. Then, he stretched out his tongue and licked the girl's face, and moved his other hand towards the damaged skirt. Explore.
The girl's eyes were full of tears, but she held back not crying, and she didn't even say a word of prayer. She kept telling herself in her heart that she must not just accept her fate like this, and she silently recited what Grandma Cen had taught her. The Hellfire Curse, I hope the power in my body can break through the seal and activate it again!
Unexpectedly, as soon as he recited the mantra once, the jailer who was pressing down on the girl and wanted to do something evil would actually let out a shrill scream. He jumped up suddenly and just kept scratching his chest with his hands. He was still shouting something unclearly.
In the blink of an eye, the opponent's body seemed to be ignited from the inside, showing a translucent orange-red color, and then a burst of flames spurted out from his seven orifices, wrapping his entire body in the heart of flames. .
In an instant, a living person was like a hemp wick soaked in lamp oil, turned into a blackened and shriveled human body, and then fell to the ground and shattered into a pile of powder.
"My Hellfire Curse—really used it?!"
The girl immediately got up from the ground, grabbed the damaged clothes scattered on both sides and held them in front of her, then raised her right hand towards the other jailer. However, before she could recite the mantra again, she heard a sudden sound outside the cell. A deep voice:
"You are so courageous. The concubines and maids who are usually out of power are nothing more than you, but you dare to touch the prisoners I personally sent!"
The other jailer who was lucky enough to escape with his life immediately turned on his heels when he heard the person yelling at him, and fell to his knees with a thud, banging his head as if he was smashing garlic. Standing outside the cell door was none other than Gao Li in casual clothes. !
"Sir, sir, please calm down! I don't dare to do it anymore, I don't dare anymore!"
The jailer's tongue was already knotted in his mouth, he hesitated and fell to his knees, sticking his butt high in the air.
Gao Li walked up to him and asked without emotion: "Then I want to ask you about my coming here tonight -"
"Little one, little one must be tight-lipped!"
"But I'm not sure you can do it!"
Before the words were settled, Gao Li suddenly raised his eyes and slapped the opponent's Tianling Cap directly with his palm. The jailer was immediately unable to say a word, but his limbs were trembling violently, as if he were a corpse. The puppet's skin and flesh soon began to fester, turning into a pool of stinking pus on the spot!
"It's a disgusting thing, but you can't kill it all!"
Gao Li took out a clean handkerchief from his arms, wiped off the fuzzy flesh and blood on his hands, and threw them into a ball at his feet. Then he only raised his eyes slightly to see Ning Yue's hands and feet. The iron shackles on his body were broken immediately.
"That was just now - the blood snake curse in the high-level snake's breath! Who are you, and why do you know how to use my clan's secret skills? Besides, if you kill someone in prison, aren't you afraid of being held accountable?!"
The girl had not yet recovered from the bloody sight, and retched for a long time before she could speak. However, her question sounded like a joke to the person opposite:
"What am I afraid of? You are the witch imprisoned in this prison now. The two lives just now can be counted on your head. But after all, you are the daughter of a high priest, and you can recognize what I am doing at a glance.
The spell."
The other party's words became unscrupulous, but the red-haired girl's expression changed drastically:
"Are you from Cangliu City?!"
"Do you think I will sacrifice my life for him, Feng Weishu?"
In response to the girl's question, Gao Li was noncommittal, and turned around and took out something. It was a milky-white waist pendant made of whale teeth, thick at the top and narrow at the bottom. The pendant was surrounded by a circle of fine lines like fish scales, with the front and back
There is a hollow gravure with a complicated shape on each side, embedded with a pure black crystal like ink. The gravure and the black crystal are combined into one, which is the word "deacon" written in the Cangyu language!
The girl would never have dreamed that the person in front of her, who was inferior to one person but superior to ten thousand people, and had all the power in the inner circle, would actually be Kun Jie's deacon elder who ranked first among the three elders!
"That's why you used a bucket of blood in the main hall during the day to break the transformation spell on me. That's why I was escorted all the way from Suoyang Pass to here, and I couldn't use my breath to escape! Do you want to completely destroy me?
If you are trapped to death in Yujing City, do you want to notify Kunjie to come and collect people?!"
Ning Yue suddenly raised her head, anger gushing out from her eyes. However, Gao Li's answer was completely beyond her expectation: "I haven't heard about your coming to Yujing yet, sir."
"Aren't you going to use me to claim credit from your master?!"
"Application for credit? Can any reward that Kun Jie empty-handedly promised me be rarer and more valuable than the delicacies in Yongyang Palace? However, after all, he has already spread the news everywhere to find the person——"
"I would rather die than go back to that devil!" Hearing what the other party said, the girl immediately put on an expression on her face that she would die generously.
"But killing you like this - what good will it do to me?"
"What do you want?!"
"Actually, I want to give you a chance to choose. Please follow me and settle down in this Yongyang Palace." Gao Li's tone suddenly no longer as cold as before.
"Then what?"
The anger on Ning Yue's face was gradually replaced by surprise. But the other party paused and refused to say any more: "You don't need to worry about what happens next."
"Aren't you afraid that I won't agree?"
"You should have seen it in the Wannian Palace today. Now everyone in Yujing City knows that there is a red-haired witch in the palace who scared the emperor to the point of fainting. Even if I don't hand you over to the leader, do you think you can survive?
What are the chances of getting out of the city without being tied up and burned to death in public?"
"I told you, I'm not afraid of death!"
"I know you're not afraid. But aren't you also afraid of what kind of evil things those land people outside will do to your body before you die? Not to mention your two land people friends——
When your identity is made public in the future, will they still accept the real you? Will they still miss you and worry about you? "
Gao Li smiled slyly and squinted his eyes to look at the girl in the cell with his peripheral vision. Ning Yue lowered her head and looked at the two corpses on the ground that had long since changed into human shapes. She couldn't help but shudder, and another image appeared in front of her eyes.
The appearance of Jiang Yan and Qi Ziyin——
It is true that even if they can accept her unusual hair color and the dangerous power that is difficult to control in her, her true identity is a secret that the girl has been careful to hide from her companions from beginning to end. Even if she wants to say it,
She has to say it herself!
After a long time, the red-haired girl made up her mind and agreed to the other party's request. When Gao Li finally nodded, he laughed, as if everything was in his calculation. Then, two more internal prisoners came out of the cell door.
A stranger walked in, carrying a female corpse that came from nowhere and had been burned beyond recognition...
It wasn't until the sky was dark that Gao Li returned to his residence in the palace. After signaling to the left and right to retreat, he did not fall asleep. Instead, he took out a palm-sized piece of rice from a locked box with some incomplete edges.
Here comes the round mirror.
The mirror was also carved from rosettes. Under the man's low voice, a layer of strange blue light gradually appeared on it. After a while, a figure vaguely appeared in the mirror, and as the light grew stronger
It became clearer and clearer, slowly turning into Kun Jie's face:
"Elder Deacon, why have I contacted you several times in recent days but there has been no response?"
Kun Jie's eyes in the mirror were sunken into his eye sockets, looking rather haggard. His brows were knitted together, as if he was extremely angry at the lack of news from Gao Li for days.
"First of all, the affairs in the palace have been busy recently, and there are many people with mixed eyes. It was difficult for me to find an opportunity, so I came to report to you immediately——"
"Then stop talking nonsense. I asked you to investigate the whereabouts of Ning Yue, the daughter of the chief priest. Is there any progress?"
Before the man could explain, the man in the mirror interrupted him rudely. Gao Li's eyes flickered, and he restrained the unhappiness that almost appeared, and still responded respectfully:
"First of all, my subordinates have recently sent additional personnel to explore around Yujing, but there is no red-haired girl appearing in the Qingying Mountains. Could it be -"
"Could it be something? Are you saying that my news is wrong?!"
Kun Jie was provoked by him and shouted angrily, "Don't think that now that the two elders holding the staff and the deacon have died, and you are far away in the capital of the land people, you can ride on my head!"
"My subordinates dare not."
"I am sure that the red-haired girl must have passed through the ancestor ruins under Tuori Peak and entered the Changzhou area. The news is conclusive and there is no doubt. If she still hasn't seen it, I will continue to send more people to me.
Looking! It is absolutely impossible for a girl to hide in the deep mountains and old forests forever! I spent countless efforts to cultivate you carefully, and then opened up the joints to send you to Yujing. You are not here to be wasted today!
"
Kun Jie continued to roar loudly, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with the unfavorable things done to his subordinates. Gao Li on the other side of the mirror just bowed his hands frequently and said yes. However, shortly after the figure in the mirror disappeared, he suddenly
He started to overturn all the pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the desk and cursed loudly:
"Greedy thief! In anger, he tried to kill the chief priest's daughter before, forcing her to flee into the Qingying Mountains. But now he is afraid that she will fall into the hands of others. He bosses me around and urges me repeatedly. If I hadn't used the treasury over the years
Help, how can you and your loyal dogs live so freely on this land?!"
Hearing Gao Li's anger, a close aide outside the door immediately opened the door and entered, whispering:
"My lord, please calm down. Right now, you are in the light and Kunjie is in the dark. There has been such a big commotion in the Wannian Palace today. Although it was a dangerous move to keep the daughter of the chief priest, if the news spreads,
And go, spread it to the other party's ears——"
"Who will talk to him? Is it you or the officials of all sizes in the palace? Kun Jie will never think of the reason why I have not appointed any officials or officials on land all these years!"
Gao Li laughed arrogantly again. Facing the visitor, he spoke openly about his true identity. It turned out that although he had been lurking alone in the palace for decades, he had secretly cultivated many people who were loyal to him.
The landmen's party members. But now, these people are not only loyal to him, but have already formed a powerful force that even Kunjie didn't know about, but it is powerful enough to subvert Chao Gang.
"When I made up my mind to cut off my penis and enter the palace, I didn't do it just to be called around today! As far as I'm concerned, Cangliu City and the life and death of the Cangyu people are nothing to worry about. Nowadays, everyone
The priest's daughter has fallen into my hands. One day, when that stupid emperor really agrees to the Zen throne and me, I will immediately marry Ning Yue as the imperial concubine! And she will pass on her strength to me to guide me.
Let me find the divine power of my ancestors. Then I will kill Kunjie and destroy the princes, and I will be able to securely sit on the throne and have power over the world!"
